Today I’m linking up with Amanda at Running with Spoons for Thinking Out Loud! Honestly, I love this style post for the freedom to chat about all the random things that cross my mind. Right now, I’m trying to sort out my race schedule for 2015. I feel like I am missing something from my calendar, especially the summer months. I have nothing scheduled from the beginning of May through August! I typically run a few events in Maine in the {Read More}
ZOOMA Annapolis 2014 is officially in the books! Jake and I had the rare opportunity to head down to Annapolis solo! We arrived at the host hotel, the Loews Annapolis Hotel, with plenty of time to check in and relax before heading to the race expo. What a nice touch on the custom ZOOMA room key! Well done Loews!

Thanks to being an ambassador with ZOOMA Women’s Race Series, I received the opportunity to ask Jenny Jurek, wife of ultra runner Scott Jurek, any interview question I wanted. Good thing my fellow ZOOMA Ambassadors covered a lot of the great topics because it was a bit overwhelming to think of just one question.

The ZOOMA Annapolis course hates me. Okay, so that might be a bit dramatic. But, the rolling hills, the bridge and the temperatures had it in for me last year and I even ran close to a personal worst. Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment but I am heading back to Annapolis in 2014. The third time is a charm, right? So with that being said, yes, I’m out for a redemption run in 2014. {2012 and 2013 race recaps {Read More}
